King Henry and Beneck were best fiends, they were so close that the King offered him a place as Arch Bishop of Canterbury. Beneck was then crowned as the Bishop with Henry thinking that he would be able to have a say in what the church did now. But Becket wanted things to stay the same and took the priests side on the argument. Now Henry would rage a lot and lose his temper with the Bishop. Becket fled to France to get away from King Henrys rows, hoping to find refuge there. As the Arch Bishop of Canterbury he thought it was his duty to come back and take his place again. A huge crowd formed, welcoming him back. King Henry was furious! One night when Becket was at the church, three of King Henrys knights came and killed him. At the news of this, King Henry cried out and said "I never meant for this to happen!" He then went under severe punishment to pardon him of his terrible deeds.
